National Archives + Capitol Hill

I wanted to go to National Archives to see the Declaration of Independence for as long as i can remember. SO i decided to go there randomly on Saturday during the Thanksgiving break. I went with Glenn because everyone else was away. :P


The National Archives building


ONe of the stone statures outside the building. They have interesting messages inscribed on the stone beneath.


Magna Carta - Check it out!


Declaration of Independence!


So after national archives, we decided to walk down to capitol hill since it was relatively close. And i'm glad we went on that day because the scenery was breathtaking...

Thanksgiving

Everyone went somewhere during Thanksgiving except me and a few others. The whole campus was quiet and dead. So i decided to take a morning stroll to the White House which is somewhere near my campus. It was fun walking alone, except that it gets cold.

World Bank building


World Bank...


I think i was outside World Bank or IMF when i took this...


I took this when i was outside the White House. They had this big driveway which was closed and people could just walk around by themselves.

NHL + NBA

We went for NHL and NBA games on 11th Nov and 12th Nov. It was really an eye-opener. The feeling you get from watching it live and watching on tv is so different. I enjoyed every bit of it even though it was a little ex for NBA. :P


Skating Ring.
